===Background===
After experimenting with two [[Drag Reduction System]] (DRS) zones with a single activation point in [[2011 Canadian Grand Prix|2011]],<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/91556|title=Double DRS zone from Canadian GP|first=Edd|last=Straw|work=[[Autosport]]|date=20 May 2011|access-date=2 June 2012|archive-date=11 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170811223106/http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/91556|url-status=live}}</ref> the [[FIA]] decided that the 2012 race would use a single, shorter DRS zone.<ref>{{cite news|title=One DRS zone instead of two at Canadian Grand Prix|url=http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/|first=Keith|last=Collantine|work=F1 Fanatic|publisher=Keith Collantine|date=1 June 2012|access-date=2 June 2012|archive-date=4 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120604000600/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/06/01/drs-zone-canadian-grand-prix/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2011, the DRS zone was 650 metres from the l'Epingle hairpin to the final chicane, with a secondary zone placed along the main straight.

As in the first session, the second was interrupted by a red flag when [[Bruno Senna]] crashed at the final chicane, destroying one of the experimental rear wings [[Williams F1|Williams]] had brought to the race.

[[Jean-Éric Vergne]] became the third driver to crash in free practice, when he went off at the first turn on Saturday morning during his first flying lap, whilst Nico Rosberg suffered from a fuel pick-up problem that cost him an entire hour of running. Vettel finished the session fastest, just six thousandths of a second faster than Fernando Alonso, with Hamilton third.<ref>{{cite news|title=Vettel edges Alonso in final practice for the Canadian Grand Prix|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/100234|first=Matt|last=Beer|work=Autosport|date=9 June 2012|access-date=10 June 2012|archive-date=11 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120611170139/http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/100234|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Kimi Räikkönen]] was investigated by the stewards for a dangerous pit entry, and was later fined for the incident.

===Qualifying===
[[File:2012 Canadian Grand Prix Sebastian Vettel RB8.jpg|thumb|[[Sebastian Vettel]] qualified on pole position.]]
Jean-Éric Vergne was eliminated in Q1, out-qualified by the [[Caterham F1|Caterhams]] of [[Heikki Kovalainen]] and [[Vitaly Petrov]]. Petrov was faster than his teammate for most of the Q1 session, but a late lap from Kovalainen – which included a bumpy ride across the kerbs at the final chicane – put him two-tenths of a second clear of the Russian. [[Pedro de la Rosa]] outqualified both [[Marussia F1|Marussia]] cars by half a second, with teammate [[Narain Karthikeyan]] within a tenth of a second of [[Charles Pic]], completing the final row of the grid. [[Sebastian Vettel]] was the fastest driver in the session.

The second qualifying period was closely fought, with many drivers vying for a place in Q3 by only a few hundredths of a second, and the exact running order was only resolved in the final few seconds when [[Pastor Maldonado]] spun at the final chicane and glanced against the outer wall. Maldonado pushed too hard into the chicane. He managed to keep his car from ploughing into the outer wall, but damaged his right rear wheel and suspension and ultimately finished seventeenth. [[Romain Grosjean]] narrowly avoided elimination, but his teammate [[Kimi Räikkönen]] finished twelfth, behind [[Kamui Kobayashi]]. Despite setting the early pace, [[Nico Hülkenberg]] qualified thirteenth, with [[Daniel Ricciardo]] alongside him in fourteenth, a full second quicker than teammate Vergne. [[Sergio Pérez]] was fifteenth, admitting to having locked up his front tyres at the hairpin on his final flying lap.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}} [[Bruno Senna]] qualified sixteenth overall, narrowly ahead of Maldonado.

All ten cars took to the circuit for Q3. Vettel qualified on pole, ahead of [[Fernando Alonso]] and [[Lewis Hamilton]]. [[Mark Webber (racing driver)|Mark Webber]] was fourth, ahead of [[Nico Rosberg]] who finished fifth. [[Felipe Massa]] was sixth in his second appearance in Q3 in as many races, ahead of Grosjean in seventh and [[Paul di Resta]] eighth. After bettering Nico Rosberg's times in Q1 and Q2, [[Michael Schumacher]] finished ninth, half a second behind Rosberg. Onboard footage showed Schumacher visibly frustrated with a slower car on his final flying lap, though no action was taken. Jenson Button completed the grid in tenth, having elected to use the soft tyres as opposed to the super-softs used by everyone else.

Following his contact with the wall at the end of his seventeenth placed qualifying performance, the Williams team decided to change Pastor Maldonado's gearbox prior to the race. As a result, Maldonado incurred an automatic five place grid penalty and was demoted to twenty-second position for the start.<ref name=Pastor>{{cite news |title= Pastor Maldonado takes gearbox penalty for Canadian Grand Prix |url= http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/100277 |last= Noble |first= Jonathan |date= 10 June 2012 |access-date= 10 June 2012 |work= Autosport |archive-date= 15 June 2012 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120615165303/http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/100277 |url-status= live }}</ref>

===Race===
[[File:Button, Raikkonen, Kobayashi, Perez, Hulkenberg and Senna - 2012 Canadian Grand Prix.jpg|thumb|[[Jenson Button]] leading a train of cars in the opening stages of the race - he eventually finished sixteenth.]]
As required by the qualifying regulations, the top 9 qualifiers all started on the faster red-banded super soft tyres, with 10th placed Jenson Button who did not set a time in Q3 choosing to start on the yellow-banded softs. The remaining drivers had a choice of tyres; Kimi Räikkönen, Nico Hülkenberg, Sergio Pérez, Pastor Maldonado and Pedro de la Rosa opted for the softs, the remainder for the super softs.

The race got off to a clean start, with Sebastian Vettel taking the early lead from pole. There were no big changes behind him, as Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Mark Webber, Nico Rosberg and Felipe Massa all staying in their respective places. Pastor Maldonado made up a few places after starting 22nd. Massa passed Rosberg for fifth soon after, with the latter soon losing another spot to Paul di Resta. Di Resta was unable to keep the pace of the top 5, and a gap formed up between the first 5 and the rest of the pack.

Massa had started closing in on Webber after passing Rosberg, but he then spun and dropped down to 12th, at the tail of the second group led by di Resta. At the head of the field, Vettel built a two-second lead in the first four laps over Hamilton, but then Hamilton slowly started reeling him back in as the super softs slowly began to wear out. Before the first round of pit stops, Hamilton closed right up to Vettel and started to get held up, with Fernando Alonso taking the opportunity to join the leading two. The stops started as early as lap 13 for Massa, and on lap 14 for di Resta and Michael Schumacher. Vettel stayed until lap 16 before pitting, handing the lead to Hamilton who came in on the next lap and rejoined ahead of Vettel, despite a slow pitstop.

[[File:Sergio Perez Canada 2012.jpg|thumb|After starting in fifteenth place, [[Sergio Pérez]] conserved his tyres to finish in third place and take the second podium finish of his career.]]
Alonso stayed out two laps longer than Hamilton and, helped by a quick pitstop was able to rejoin in second place, ahead of Hamilton and Vettel and only behind temporary leader Romain Grosjean who was yet to pit. Hamilton immediately attacked him in the DRS zone on the same lap and succeeded to take 2nd place, which became the lead two laps later when Grosjean pitted. Webber was unable to keep up with the leading trio in the first stint and thus, after his stop rejoined behind the yet to stop Sergio Pérez and Kimi Räikkönen, and got held up behind the duo. This left the leading trio of Hamilton, Alonso and Vettel with a gap around 15 seconds to the rest of the field, with the McLaren driver being able to edge out a lead over his two pursuers.

On lap 24 Narain Karthikeyan was the first retirement after spinning on turn 1 and pulling over shortly afterwards. Shortly afterwards, his HRT teammate Pedro de la Rosa stopped in the pits with worn-out brakes and didn't re-emerge.

[[File:2012 Canadian Grand Prix Fernando Alonso Ferrari F2012-02.jpg|thumb|[[Fernando Alonso]] led for 17 laps of the race, but his tyres degraded near the end and he quickly lost four places, slipping to fifth.]]
Räikkönen and Pérez, running 4th and 5th having started on the soft tyres both had a long first stint as they tried to make the race on a single stop. With Webber being held up behind the duo, this allowed both Grosjean and Nico Rosberg to close up on him. Rosberg made his second stop on lap 40, one lap before Räikkönen made his only stop. Räikkönen rejoined in front of Rosberg, but Rosberg was able to pass him in the DRS zone on the same lap, just as Hamilton did on Alonso earlier. Pérez made his stop on lap 42 and rejoined in between the duo, in 8th place. Michael Schumacher's run of bad luck continued when he left the pits on lap 43 with his DRS flap open was running 9th. He returned to the pits but the team were unable to close the flap, forcing his retirement.

Hamilton was able to open up a 4-second lead over Alonso, with Vettel being initially held up by the Spaniard, but unable to keep up with him as the Ferrari driver found the grip in his tyres. As the stint wore on, Alonso was able to pull clear of Vettel and close down Hamilton's lead to just over 2 seconds, and Hamilton decided to make a second stop for new tyres. He rejoined in third, 9.5 seconds behind Vettel and 13 behind Alonso, and just ahead of Webber and Grosjean who were fighting for 4th. Both Alonso and Vettel realized that they do not have enough of a gap to make another stop and rejoin ahead of Hamilton, so they stayed out and attempted to complete the race without stopping again in an attempt to win.

[[File:Lewis Hamilton Wins Canada 2012.jpg|thumb|[[Lewis Hamilton]] took the race victory to become the seventh different winner from the opening seven rounds of the 2012 season.]]
The battles continued to rage behind the leading trio, as Grosjean started to attack 4th placed Webber. The Red Bull driver decided to make a second pitstop for new tyres and rejoined in 8th place, behind Rosberg and Pérez, but ahead of Räikkönen. Felipe Massa, who was unable to regain the places he lost due to his spin, was now back up to 5th place as he too attempted a one-stopper. That did not work out however, and Rosberg had closed right up to him by lap 55, and brought Pérez, Webber and Räikkönen along. Rosberg attacked Massa on the DRS zone, but overshot the last chicane and had to give the position back. Pérez took advantage of this and was right behind Massa, which meant that he too was able to get the jump on Rosberg when he handed the place back to Massa. He then passed Massa on the same lap, with Rosberg also going through, this time doing the job cleanly. The Brazilian had enough, and pitted for a new set of tyres and rejoined in 10th place, where he stayed till the end.

Hamilton on his newer tyres was rapidly gaining on Alonso and Vettel at the front at over a second a lap. As the race entered the latter stages, the tyres of Alonso and Vettel began to totally wear out, and their lap times now dropped by 3 seconds a lap. Hamilton passed Vettel on lap 62, and Alonso two laps later to take the lead, but the tyres of the latter two were so worn that they were vulnerable to the rest of the field. Vettel decided to stop for new tyres on lap 64 and rejoined fifth behind Grosjean and Pérez, who had broken away from the battle between Rosberg, Webber and Räikkönen. Alonso decided to stay out on his totally worn tyres and was passed by Grosjean on lap 66, Pérez one lap later, and a charging Vettel on the penultimate lap. Lewis Hamilton had no trouble reeling off the last 6 laps once he had taken the lead and became the 7th different winner in 7 races. Grosjean and Sergio Pérez achieved their 2nd career podium finishes as they finished second and third respectively. Vettel recovered to 4th, only 2 seconds behind Pérez at the flag. A frustrated Alonso dropped to 5th ahead of Rosberg who had an up and down race finishing 6th, fending off Webber and Räikkönen. Kamui Kobayashi finished a respectable 9th place in the other Sauber with Massa getting the final point in 10th.
